Branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, an enzyme in the common pathway of branched-chain amino acid catabolism of Pseudomonas putida, is a multienzyme complex which catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain keto acids. The objective of the present study was to isolate strains with mutations of this and other keto acid dehydrogenases and to map the location of the mutations on the chromosome of P. putida. Several strains with mutations of branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase, two pyruvate and two 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, were isolated, and the defective subunits were identified by biochemical analysis. By using a recombinant XYL-K plasmid to mediate conjugation, these mutations were mapped in relation to a series of auxotrophic and other catabolic mutations. The last time of entry recorded was at approximately 35 min, and the data were consistent with a single point of entry. Branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase mutations affecting E1, E1 plus E2, and E3 subunits mapped at approximately 35 min. One other strain affected in the common pathway was deficient in branched-chain amino acid transaminase, and the mutation was mapped at 16 min. The mutations in the two pyruvate dehydrogenase mutants, one deficient in E1 and the other deficient in E1 plus E2, mapped at 22 minutes. The 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase mutation affecting the E1 subunit mapped at 12 minutes. A 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase mutant deficient in E3 was isolated, but the mutation proved too leaky to map.
